What is an Agile environment?

An Agile environment is simply a company or organization that creates and supports Agile project management. This means the company culture encourages project teams to adopt the principles and values of the Agile methodology. 

The four pillars of Agile that any Agile environment needs to support are:

1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change over following a plan

Companies with an Agile environment typically accept and promote change, innovation, and process improvement. They understand the different Agile frameworks and support important Agile practices, such as planning in sprints and working collaboratively. These workplaces support their team members. They also view engaged employees and customers as more important than following documented processes and contracts.
